Senate Talks LGBT Immigration

yo como humano aun no entiendo la discriminacion que nos damos entre hermanos mi pareja es estado unidense (thomas mauldin) yo peruano (gerard benavides) se me nego la visa dos veces, teniendo mi pareja que viajar cada año a peru para poder vernos, ahora la situacion economica no esta bien en USA y no me parece justo que se esfuerse tanto en trabajar para conseguir los boletos para este viaje. tenemos ya 5 años en esta situacion y no quiero que nos hagamos ancianos y no poder vivir juntos como pareja o matrimonio, incluso el esta dispuesto a dejar los estados unidos y venirse a vivir a peru pero eso no me parece justo ya que perderia su trabajo, su jubilacion, su casa, su vida, el no habla españos lo que haria su vida muy dificil aqui y no me parece de que un pais deje ir a sus coidadanos por una cuestion de creencias antiguas y no abrirse a lo que es el amor sin fronteras......

Alan, Gay couples have children too, and the one gay couple who has been the focus of UAFA, has two children. The foreign spouse is that couple is Shirley Tan (do a search and you'll find out all about her) She will be deported at the end of 2010 if UAFA is not passed. Why should gay families have to take a back seat to everyone else. Our families are just as important and just as worthy to be included in reform as yours. If you want to go after someone, try the Catholic church or Focus on the Family. They are the ones who claim they will be less supportive of immigration reform. Why are we the bad guys?

It is a shame that IMMIGRATION REFORM is being side tracked by GAY ACTIVIST. USA has not uniformally accepted GAY union. Therefore GAY couples are not recognized by majority of the States. To bring GAY rights into picture where children are being separated from their parents is pathetic. People who wish GAY unions to be legalized in USA should go to the courts and get it done there, rather than to distrupt the immigration legaization issue which is the life line of this country productivity and progress.

If anything, due to the ingrained hostility and discrimination of the immigration service, we should expect to receive a much higher level of scrutiny than do the straights. The immigration service will look for and use even the smallest infraction or irregularity to deny our applications. Be prepared for for a lot of resentment and hostility to be thrown into our faces by government officials.

This bill would not be necessary if Congress would repeal the unconstitutional DOMA, so our legal civil marriages in 6 states would be recognized by the federal government to which we pay taxes.

Critics who think the UAFA would increase immigration fraud are terribly misinformed. Same-sex couples would need to prove the validity of their marriage just as straight, married couples do. A marriage certificate doesn't prove the validity of a marriage; USCIS (U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services) requests evidence like joint bank account statements, joint health insurance, and joint home/car leases to prove that two people are in a committed relationship. There will be people trying to cheat the immigration system regardless of sexual orientation - that's why USCIS has these requirements in place.
